Miami-area lawyer Tania Galloni has become the new managing attorney for the Florida office of Earthjustice, the nonprofit environmental law firm.
Galloni moves to Earthjustice after having been managing attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center’s Florida Office in Miami since 2011, focusing on juvenile justice and education reform, spokeswoman Julie Hauserman said Tuesday.
Before that, she worked at the Florida Immigrant Advocacy Center, now called Americans for Immigrant Justice, on immigrants’ rights.
She has successfully tried cases in administrative immigration courts, as well as federal trial and appellate courts.
Galloni, a Yale Law School graduate, replaces longtime managing attorney David Guest, who retired in June, Hauserman said.
She “lives in Miami Shores and will be ushering in a new Miami Earthjustice office in addition to the current office in Tallahassee,” Hauserman added.
